PL8206 Common Mode Choke - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PL8206 is a 2-line common mode choke (CMC) surface mount component manufactured by iNRCORE, LLC, designed for power line filtering applications. It is rated for 3.3A maximum current with a DC resistance of 60mOhm and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 130°C. The component is currently active in production status with 1,111 pieces available in stock. Common mode chokes are essential in power distribution and signal integrity applications to suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI) on multi-conductor lines. Equivalent parts are identified when electrical and mechanical parameters align within acceptable tolerances for direct substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the PL8206 and PL8207 are active production components from iNRCORE, LLC with identical electrical, mechanical, and compliance specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on availability and supply chain requirements. The PL8206 currently has higher inventory (1,111 pieces) compared to the PL8207 (832 pieces). Both components share the same RoHS non-compliant status and MSL rating, making them functionally interchangeable for applications requiring 2-line common mode filtering at 3.3A with 60mOhm DC resistance in the -55°C to 130°C operating range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PL8207 be used as a direct replacement for the PL8206?

A: Yes. The PL8207 is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical ratings (3.3A, 60mOhm DCR), mechanical dimensions (0.770" x 0.670" x 0.390"), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 130°C). Both use the same surface mount package with horizontal, 4 PC pad configuration.

Q: Are there any differences in compliance or certifications between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS non-compliance status, MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), ECCN classification (EAR99), and HTSUS code (8548.00.0000).

Q: What is the primary difference between PL8206 and PL8207?

A: The primary difference is the series designation. The PL8206 belongs to the SLIC series, while the PL8207 series designation is not specified in the available data. Both are manufactured by iNRCORE, LLC and maintain active product status.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in PCB assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical footprints, dimensions, and mounting specifications (surface mount, horizontal 4 PC pad package). They can be used interchangeably in PCB designs without layout modifications.

Q: What applications are these common mode chokes suitable for?

A: These 2-line common mode chokes are designed for power line filtering applications requiring EMI suppression at 3.3A current levels with low DC resistance (60mOhm) across industrial temperature ranges (-55°C to 130°C).
